Yuri Olesha

Yuri Olesha (1899-1960), born in Elisavetgrad, grew up in Odessa, where he studied for two years at the university. He settled in Moscow in 1922 and wrote for the railwaymen's newspaper Gudok. After his two books of the late 1920s, he published very little, working mainly for the cinema, under the growing pressure of censorship. His notebooks were gathered in a posthumous volume published in 1965. He died in Moscow on 10 May 1960.
